Get a GTX 1180 the next GPU generation, for the CPU, anything else than 6 core i7s wouldn't make sense, or maybe an Icelake CPU in like 2-3 years.

i'd say a 1280ti and a 6 or 8 core Lavalake-X

I clicked agree on "all set buy games", but I understand the itch

 

I also agree with a larger ssd, it suck's to fill up your fastest drive and run on something slower. Side note: do you have any problems with raid0? last time I tried it was over 12 years ago and due to my constant and brutal clocking it would corrupt non-stop.

 

Anyways you're golden, anything short of a core upgrade wouldn't give much....... more room for games aside

Audio go Brrrrrr

Wat? 

 

Their initial advice is good. The OP has a 980 so no point in dishing out to upgrade 1 gen. Wait till the 1180 comes out (since Nvidia has a predictable naming scheme) probably next year. And the next gen of Intel CPUs is set to be called icelake.

??Greetings mr Spock, logic dictates that you wait for another generation or two of computer components to be released before upgrading.
